I always get confused when this is supposed to be watched. Its amusing, but is that pencil what she uses later?

People say that the real world isn't black or white, its shades of gray. I prefer to think its a rainbow spectrum, when any color is dark enough, its black, when any color is light enough, its white. Yet, there is a spectrum of cultures and values.

Mark's lines are what stand out in memory from this special, but really everyone gets their wacky character moment. It's a little surprising that Asami got such a big segment, since she shows up in the first (two?) episodes and then never appears again, but Rei and Kouga (the non-creepy black stocking version) don't show up at all.

Silva and Zaruba's bit is pretty funny. Since Silva's threatening to tell Kaoru that she only has 100 days to live since the time she was showered in Horror blood, it would have to be set before episode 17.

As wacky as most of this is, the two scenes with Kaoru's parents are really moving. They give the special a really broad emotional range.

/me puts on his pedant hat

Actually she gets sick from Kaoru's food in episode four, that's why they're in the hospital. And she gets picked up by a guy, leaving Kaoru alone with the bar hostess Horror in episode 7/8? She might have another appearance that's slipping my mind, but she pops up once in a while
